To Fight Cancer, Know the Enemy To Beat Cancer, Stand and Fight To Kill Cancer, We Must Stand Together

Lung Cancer is a killer. Walk into any public place anywhere and ask for a show of hands regarding people who know someone with cancer and 85% of the hands will spring into the air followed by stories of battles won and lost of bravery and fear all fought on a global battlefield yet fought hand to hand, one on one and more times then not, to the death. For those who fight and survive, your path is altered in someway, you will never be the exact same person you once were, life’s lessons can be harsh at times.

I read an article written by Dr. James Watson, founder of the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, Nobel Prize recipient and brilliant sometimes-controversial thinker of thoughts. I have nothing short of respect and admiration for him in regards to what he has given to the world over the course of his career. His call to battle was picked up by Dr. Antonio Giordano from the Sbarro Health Research Organization who also called for the “second war on cancer” to begin. At the University of Wisconsin, there is a highly dedicated group of volunteers working tirelessly to staff a research facility with scientists and researchers. I’m sure all over the country the same thing is playing out, research facilities awaiting funding to continue an on going war.

I am not an award-winning scientist nor am I a Nobel Prize winner. I don’t know how to split a cell. The genes that I work with are Levi. I will not be the one who develops the cure, that is not my role. I am a current small cell Lung Cancer survivor. I say current, because things can change. As a small cell lung cancer patient, to survive to the five-year mark is a feat that not many can accomplish. Lung cancer is cancer’s leading assassin and will continue to kill more people each year then breast cancer, colon and prostate cancer combined.

What I offer you now is the patient’s perspective of the war on cancer. First of all let me state that my knowledge is strictly with lung cancer and the treatments that I underwent. As a patient although there seem to be universal methods of treatment depending upon the type and severity of cancer you have, every individual will react differently to that treatment. We are dependant upon a Doctors opinion and experience to provide us with the best option for treatment; we are dependant on a scientist or researcher to provide the doctor with the best options available for them to treat us with. It’s then up to us to stand, fight and survive. The treatment that I received consisted of radiation twice a day mixed with chemotherapy followed up with preventative radiation to the brain to kill any cells that might have migrated like geese. These treatments helped to save or at the very least prolong my life and I am grateful for that. But they’re harsh and un-relenting and the thing that will eventually help save you can almost kill you. We need to continue pursuing methods that will someday enable us to defend ourselves in advance as opposed to fighting it out toe to toe with cancer like prizefighters in the ring.

The American Cancer Society suggests that there will be 1,479,350 new cases of cancer diagnosed in 2009. Sticking to what I know, 219,440 of those cases will be lung related roughly 14.5%. Of those 219,440 cases there is an expected mortality rate of 72.5%. 159,390 friends, family members, mom’s, dad’s and yes children will lose a quick vicious fight with lung cancer. The family members, Moms, dads and children left behind to morn and wonder what if things would have been different?

When we talk about killing cancer it must be a group effort. Collectively as a culture we must continue to grow and develop new talent in the research fields. We must ensure that new ideas are free flowing from our leading minds. We have to be on the front side of the development of new technology. We have to obtain funding through all means possible. Corporate America the Federal Government should be stepping up to provide money and resources on a much larger scale. Research from the private sectors should be geared at public benefit and not private gain where cancer is concerned.

And what are you and I going to do to help defend our families and ourselves? If it were a man with a gun pointed at your daughter what lengths would you go to deliver her from harms way? Cancer is just that, it is a loaded gun pointed at every member of your family as if it were a cosmic game of Russian roulette. Cancer attacks and kills without reason, without remorse. Cancer does not discriminate it doesn’t make excuses for it’s behavior. Cancer knows no social bounds, rich or poor, all are vulnerable.

I contend that it is our responsibility as a society to help provide for cancer research and development above the normal taxes we pay. That maybe once a month we could forego the extra cheeseburger, t

The Best Anti Aging Skin Care For Woman Over 40

thesecretsofbeautifulskin.com What should you look for in skin care for woman? What’s the most effective? What’s the safest? These are things that you need to know, before you buy anything. For Your Health The skin’s health is dependent on adequate nutrition and fluid intake. As time goes by, skin care for woman and man, becomes more difficult, because it is harder for the outermost layers to get the nourishment and fluids that they need. With the right creams, you can apply the necessary nourishment and moisture directly. But, if you choose the wrong ones, you’ll clog the pores. Toxins will begin to build up. Your face will start to look duller and eventually, you’ll start to see sagging and fine lines. It is important to avoid products that contain petrolatum, mineral oil and paraffin. Have you ever noticed that when you use chap-stick on chapped lips, they start to heal? But, if you use it regularly, they start to feel dry all of the time. So, you reapply it time and time again, thinking that it will eventually have that healing effect. The truth is this. It won’t. Chap-stick is primarily paraffin wax, a mineral oil derivative. It’s the best example that I know of to explain to people that mineral oil derivatives strip the natural oils that are present in our lips and skin. Thus, they are counter productive and should not be included in skin care for woman or man. To Improve Your Appearance The safest and most effective solutions are those that are naturally occurring …

Hot and Healthy Find: LARABAR

The LARABAR: A Truly Healthy Whole Food Snack & Energy Bar I live in the real world so I completely recognize the convenience value of Energy and snack bars but to be honest there really arent very many on the market that I would recommend, much less eat myself! The problem is, so many packaged snack bars, even the ones that go out of their way to advertise themselves as being All Natural or Organic, are loaded with processed empty calorie ingredients. Sure the ingredients might be All Natural and Organic, but that doesnt make them nutrient-rich, healthy and anti-inflammatory. You cant go by the marketing claims (even the Nutrition Facts are highly misleading!) instead, you have to read the ingredients on the foods you buy. If you take the time to read the ingredients on the majority of snack bars crowding the supermarket and health food store shelves youll see the vast majority include some sort of pro-inflammatory, empty-calorie and highly refined vegetable oil (such as soybean oil, cottonseed oil, etc), added sugars and syrups (many sugars are purposely named something healthy-sounding such as evaporated cane juice, organic oat syrup solids, etc), highly processed soy in the form of soy protein isolate, etc. In other words, most snack bars are basically candy bars dressed up in a healthy looking packaged. Which brings us to one snack bar thats anything but a disguise The LARABAR I really cant say enough great and fabulous things about the LARABAR (I wish I had been …

A good ORAC supplement should contain at least a total of 3000 ORAC units in the form of high-ORAC value foods such as blueberries, cranberries and elderberries. The use of natural vitamin E isomers, tocotrienols (closely related to vitamin E in chemical structure), and vitamin C in ORAC supplements can contribute to an antioxidant network inside cells, which offers far more protection than using a single agent.
